Guest Reviews
- Arthur (10/5): - Muchas gracias por la super estancia… re recomendado !
- raquel (10/5): - Simplement com a casa.
Vaig estar dues nits i un dels dies estava malalta Jimmy va ser molt atent i amable amb mi preocupantse de qye millores.
Gracies Jimmy Todo perfecto
- raquel (10/5): - Todo Todo muy bien
- Bouchet (10/5): Accueil chaleureux, lieu reposant et ville à la bonne taille pour ça. - C’était parfait, ce qu’il me fallait pour du repos après avoir enchaîné Tokyo, Kyoto et Osaka.
Il y’a ce qu’il faut sur place, ce qu’il faut autour, tout est accessible à pieds en ce qui concerne Hikone.
L’accueil des hôtes était parfait, soucieux chaque jour de savoir si ça allait.
Je dors comme un bébé dans les futons. Rien
- Judith (10/5): -
- Michelle (10/5): Gorgeous modern guesthouse in a traditional Japanese setting - I don't know where to begin, this guesthouse will forever be one of my favourite places to stay. I have fond memories of writing, reading, relaxing here. It's so tranquil.
I booked originally for two nights and stayed for 10 days. The 'dorms' are either 4 beds or 2 beds. I had some of the best sleep on my travels. The futons are comfy and very warm. There are bed curtains for privacy and then room curtains which are very effective blackouts
The hosts are so lovely too. Hajime/Jimmy loves to chat with the guests, and both he and his wife exemplify the kind and courteous Japanese hospitality. The guesthouse attracts curious and nice solo travellers of both foreign and local origins. I would call the kitchen a kitchenette as there's no stove. There is still a fridge, hot water dispenser, toaster oven, microwave and all the cutlery/bowls/mugs you could need, but I was disappointed to discover I wouldn't be able to cook. However I was granted permission to use my camping stove and I everything I needed to self-sufficiently cook so this was not an issue. Just ask Jimmy if you'd like to do the same.
There's also only one shower for the whole guesthouse but this was never an issue for me.
- Stan (10/5): - Jimmy the owner was very helpful and very attentive . Beds were great, place was clean. Nothing

- YURI (10/5): 快適でした! - オーナーさんご夫婦がとても親切でした。設備も清潔で気持ちよく滞在できました。
駅からはやや距離がありますが、歩ける範囲ですしバス停も近いです。商店街やスーパー、コンビニも近くて便利でした。
私の滞在時は宿泊者が海外の方ばかりでしたが、みなさんマナーよく過ごされていました。
武家屋敷、古民家の街並みを感じられてよかったです。またお世話になりたいゲストハウスです。

- shigenori (9/5): オシャレで洗練された雰囲気 - 芹川沿いの穏やかな夕暮れや、歴史を感じる武家屋敷風の佇まいは、まさに「ここは京都かな?」と錯覚してしまうような情緒があります。 道が狭いので、車の乗り入れは難しい、先に駐車場へ停めた方がいいです。

- Miguel Angel (10/5): - The owner are super kinds

- Kosuke (10/5): 日本の昔ながらの家を経験してみたいなら、おすすめ! - オーナーさんが、フレンドリーで、楽しいです。 特になし。
- Guilhem (9/5): - Le gênant
- Léo (8/5): - The staff was great.
- yamamoto (10/5): 大変満足でした。 - 家屋やお部屋、設備が大変きれいで、オーナーさんの手のかけ方が感じられました。オーナーさんも気さくにお話ができ、チェックアウトの際はお見送りもしていただきました。多くの方が訪れるであろう彦根城からの距離を考えてロケーションをマイナス1させていただきましたが、最寄りのスーパーまで徒歩2~3分でとても助かりました。次回彦根に行く際も宿泊したいです。
- Pat (10/5): Séjour super ! Malgré la pluie mais l’hébergement n’y est pour rien ! 👍 - L’endroit et l’accueil 🤗! Tout ok ! Un peu complexe pour trouver la première fois … mais je n’avais qu’à apprendre le japonais ! 😉
- Craig (9/5): Perfect choice for budget travellers - The host Jimmy and naruko were super warm and friendly. Very house proud. Their lack of English is made up for by their actions. Property in a great location. Walkable to all things and there’s even a huge supermarket a minute walk from property. Ideal for travellers on a tight budget. Would’ve liked thicker pillow. Personal preference.

- Ando (9/5): 鳥人間コンテストを見にまた彦根に行きたいです - ゲストハウスでとても楽しい週末を過ごさせて頂きました。ホストご夫婦は話題が豊富で楽しく、また雰囲気がよいので宿泊客同士でも会話が弾み、彦根滞在を満喫できました。ありがとうございました!
- Maxime (9/5): -
- Maaya (10/5): 居心地の良い静寂 - ドミトリーの空間がゆったりしていて、ベッドも大きく荷物置き場も十分。城下町の景観になじむ落ち着いた外観で、滞在中ずっと穏やかな気持ちでいられた。ホストの案内が丁寧で、近隣のおすすめのお店・日の出の湖のおすすめの場所なども教えてもらえた。 強いて言えばWi-Fiの接続がやや不安定だった。ただ素泊まりでの利用だったので大きな不満にはならなかった。
- Nobuyasu (8/5): - 他のゲストの方と話が盛り上がり楽しかったです。

- masahiro (6/5): - キッチンは清潔で丁寧に使うよう設定されていて好感が持てた。 男性トイレの洗浄便座未導入、供用スペースの非固定エアコン化、現金以外の支払い手段未導入、駐車場の料金表示無しはそれらが利用可否につながらなくても予め記しておいた方が良いのではと考えます。
- Jang (10/5): - 全部綺麗でした。
- Antonio (8/5): - Es ist ein gut gelegenes Hostel in Hikone man kann alles zu Fuß erreichen!
Die Besitzer sind sehr freundlich und sind hilfsbereit.
- TJ (10/5): -
- 裕美 (8/5): 雰囲気最高 - 布団もふかふかで寝心地よかったです。
おすすめの観光スポットもオーナー夫妻が教えてくれました♪飲食店も近くにあったので夕飯も困らなかったです。
素敵な古民家でした。 ドリトミーだったのでドアの近くだと夜中の他の人の出入りが少し気になりました
- Akiko (8/5): 街も宿もレトロを楽しむ方へ - チェックイン時に丁寧に説明していただいたら後はフリーです、な感じで良かったです。建物も素敵で清潔。洗面台の手拭きや風呂のマットなどが手作りでかわいらしくて個々に使用済みにできるのも心配りと思いました。部屋のクーラーもきちんと効いて、暑い夏は助かります!
バスタオルはレンタルでしたがお手頃ですし、掛け布団も色々置いて下さいました。わたしは標準(?)のタオルケットで寝ました。洗いたてシャリシャリで気持ちよかったです。
駅から遠いので、ぶらぶら歩きが苦手な方や荷物が多いと辛いかな?でものんびり連泊したりぶらぶら街歩きしたりが好きな方には面白い立地だと思いました。わたしは気に入りました。 宿泊客数が少ないので仕方ないと思いますが、シャワールームが男女共用でひとつのみだったのでタイミング難しかったです。トイレットペーパーの予備がなくてちょっとドキドキしました(女子ひとりだったみたいで足りました!笑)女子ドミトリーはひとりだけでしたが、隣の部屋の音などがほぼ聞こえるのでこちらも気配りが必要です。まあこれは何処でも同じですもんね。
- Miki (8/5): 清潔で快適でした。 - 大正時代の古民家 庭が砂利でてきているので、夜遅くや早朝に歩く人の足音が響く。

- Thachapon (9/5): - ผู้คนเป็นกันเองและเอาใจใส่ ทำเลดีใกล้ปราสาทHikoneและราคาถูก มีครัวเครื่องซักผ้าให้ใช้งาน ตำแหน่งของแอร์โดนคนอื่นบัง กับทางเดินในห้องเกิดเสียงได้ง่าย
- mori (4/5): - ベットに何かの振動が来て寝にくかった。
- Ina (10/5): -
- Li (1/5): Bad - Close to a supermarket It's owned by a couple, the wife told me they turn off the light of the shared space at 11pm when I checked in, the husband told me exactly the same thing again when I was sitting in the shared space 10pm that day, BUT, they didn't tell me even once that they took away my key for which I was quite puzzled and searching for a while.
- Ellen (9/5): Loved it! - spacious charming room with a beautiful view into the garden. Exterior and garden has a pleasant traditional feel and is well maintained. It can be a bit of a hassle to get there from the train station if you have heavy baggage.
- David (7/5): Good - Host was very nice and the place was really clean! The wifi was ok, but i got disconnected often. And my 4G didnt really work inside the building?
- Alex (8/5): Very good -
- Kristiana (10/5): Cozy and charming - Owners were so kind and welcoming and we had a super cozy room that was quiet, clean and comfortable. Would 100% come back again!
- Lorenzo (10/5): Guesthouse Muga is a great place to rest after a day exploring Hikone or surroundings. - The host is very kind and available, gave me great tips and shared an amazing local place where I had Udon. Definitely recommended.
- Tanya (7/5): Good stay in Hokine with a more local vibe - The couple who run the place were friendly and welcoming. The language is hard sometimes, so definitely easier if you know Japanese in Japan, but the place is clean and has a homey feel. The rooms are spacious and there is a small common area and courtyard. There’s a supermarket close by and a bus. It’s a walkable city too. The bus is close to go to the station or about 20 min walk and easy to navigate. For me the bed was not comfy at all, but the bedding was good. It’s a nice experience and close to a supermarket for your needs and a few restaurants close by. I had to do some laundry and unfortunately ruined my favorite hat, so that was disappointing. No towel or anything included in the price - all extras but cost extra as well. It is the cheapest in the area though so win some, you lose some!
- Katherine (10/5): This stay was lovely! Excellent staff, comfortable bed, and good vibes :) - The staff were very nice, and the private room was very spacious! A heater next to each bed was a nice touch :) Slightly far walk from the station, but only 10-15mins from Hikone castle!
- Martin (9/5): Superb - The hosts were so kind, and made me feel very welcome. I enjoyed my stay at Guesthouse Muga.
- Isaac (9/5): Superb -
- Komi (8/5): Very good - The owner of the hostel was friendly. Gave me local information.
Big space for one person. Clean. It was cold in the night. common space was limited.
- ブイ (10/5): Exceptional -
- Melisa (10/5): Exceptional - Nice staff, comfortable bed and clean bedding All good
- Nicolas (10/5): Exceptional - everything was perfect.
- Asuka (7/5): Good - The house looks very nice. The walls are really thin, I could hear everything happening in the kitchen so I couldn't really sleep well. Other people at the guesthouse woke up quite early, so it started getting noisy after 6am in the kitchen. Also, it would have been nice if there was a communal space where you can like sit down and talk with others.
- Edward (10/5): Exceptional -
- Zameer (10/5): Exceptional -
- Olivier (9/5): Superb - Very good hostel in Hikone. Good location, clean, well equiped, kind hosts !
- Daniel (9/5): Experience rural Japan in Hikone rather than a hotel room - The innkeeper Hajime seems nice, the property is beautiful, and the area is too. The rooms are cheap and the area is super quiet and vibes traditional Japan. The inn part is still gradually being improved upon after what seems to be some changes. It's not that you'll get construction noise, but rather that it's still a little rough.
- Linda (10/5): Very comfortable and friendly reception. I would stay there again. - Comfortable and quiet. Friendly reception Nothing
- Kevin (9/5): September 2024 - If felt the location of Mugu was good for getting access to the things you might like to see in Hikone. The guest house is attached to a traditional Japanese home so it has a nice feeling to it. It is also very close to a grocery store. The owners do a number of things to keep it eco-friendly. The dorms have ac but the kitchen area does not. It was very hot in the common area.
- Jason (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julien (9/5): Superb - traditional house. owner hajime (wife noriko), nice and helpful. As I got a heavy snoring person in the dorm, he allowed me to sleep in another room.

shared toilet (one male, one female).
shared shower (one).
Small common space with kitchen, fridge, stove, microwave, small oven.
- Hildebrand (8/5): Absolutely loved it, great place and would definitely recommend! - The owners put in a lot of care into the place, the shower room was also very nice and there was airconditioning The path from the entrance to the dormitory has some very large and uneven stones that are easy to trip over
- Iris (9/5): Superb - There were lots of kitchen utensiles and a big supermarket nearby, so even though almost all of the restaurants were already closed, we could cook something after the late check-in.
- K (9/5): Superb -
- Jeremy (10/5): Exceptional - The property was easy to find and well maintained outside. The owners were very welcoming. I was able to store my bike on the property too. Futon only beds. This is not a dislike, this type of bedding is not for everyone.
- Bayani (10/5): Exceptional - Very clean and accommodating!
